Haven't you learned to NEVER underestimate Russell Wilson? He'll find a way... I heard Russell Wilson actually managed to lose his virginity on three separate occasions with 4 different women all while staying faithful to his wife. He can do anything.

We havn't had many top level rookies. I think Mirer came close once, and then Tatupu got robbed by Merroidman. Can't remember anyone else off the top of my head (aside from Russell and Wagner) who was a serious threat to take either award.

Russell Wilson is the rookie of the year. 30 or so sports writers may not have thought so before week 16 but millions and millions of football fans who got to see him at his best (his best for this season, that is) do, and they're right.

Curt Warner finished second to Eric Dickerson after the '83 season.

You are absolutely entitled to state your opinion whenever you wish, and I am absolutely entitled to point out the stupidity of that opinion with the same frequency.

Mark Carrier won during Tez's rookie year. Cortez did win DPOY two years later though.

DPOY must have been what I remembered. Of course that was a very forgettable season except for Tez.I used to love watching him at the beginning of warm ups. He would be the first one leading the team out of the tunnel, then he would stop and let everyone else go by and jog out to warm up. My wife and I used to joke that he was just conserving his energy. The man was something to watch during the game though. He was a terror on the line.
